Definitely no big flakes here. Oh so briefly. Edit: Stopped snowing. 1" down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 3" on the nose here with light snow still falling. Both DVN and MLI recorded 0.03" of precip today, and fluffed up to 2.0"/1.7" snowfall. High ratio stuff for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Mesolow band offshore from Holland is absolutely dumping over the lake. Too bad it isn't moving inland. Frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an event several years ago, I'm sure @Chicago Storm remembers it and may even know the exact date, but Chicago got 8-10 inches on something in the I want to say 90's:1 SLR. It was back when he still frequented the Accuwx forums. Was a crazy ratio and one of the times I was truly weather jealous of the northerners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 might be a 5 inch report in the Chicago metro in the thin stripe of the overlapping bands whoever was on the south end of the 1st band and the north end of this newer band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciascia Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Nice to read (and hear from family) about the good snows around the city of Chicago. I’m home on vacation in Poplar Grove, where it’s been mostly smaller type flakes off & on. Anyone know the current ORD snow total for Feb? Gotta already be one of the snowiest months in a few seasons, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small area south of Grand Haven may get crushed if it moves east. Don't know if it will though. There's an easterly land breeze pushing the band offshore on the north end. Seems pretty stationary. GRR is way too far inland. Even if it were to move east it would dissipate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Puffballs here (southeast Naperville near DuPage/Will border) underneath the band, +SN but a nice gentle deep winter evening. Stacking nicely. Edit: photo of my backyard for reference, the snow (largest dendrites around dime size) is stacking vertically on that chairback, showing how it's ultra light high SLR fluff and also no wind to disturb it. Basically perfect conditions in this band to max out efficiency. 00Z DVN sounding has 13kft deep DGZ with lapse rates >7C/km above the 700 mb centered f-gen zone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
